exactly.....100% 

Don't get me wrong...I don't mind having a package for Quincy.  He brings a unique skillset, and if you have talent then the team needs to find a place to utilize it.  But Tommy Schuster is not the first undersized QB to play the game.  We've got a transfer RB who I've heard can pick up some tough yards when need be...it sounds like he should have a role here!

I think the biggest thing with Tommy/Quincy is finding the balance between keeping Tommy in a rhythm and allowing Quincy to be a complete threat within his package (ie letting him throw), while not outsmarting ourselves from a coaching standpoint.  Sometimes on 3rd and 1 it's best to just line up, knock the snot out of your opponent, take your 3 yards and get ready for the next set of downs.  Hell that's what I prefer pretty much all the time, but again I'm just a no-nothing fan in the stands...

I didn't say I like the short term tactic, or gimmicks, but recognize it for what it is. 

This'll kill @geaux_sioux, but tell me about the offensive line. That'll tell me all I need to know.

I think many of us would agree with most all of this.  I think we'd all love to be able to ram it down their throats with a regular package with Tommy in.  Also I think many of us want to see Quincy run a few plays of the regular offense, it's a bit of a Catch 22.   I think Danny is a good offensive coordinator though, and he will make good decisions, although of course they won't all be right.  I had pretty low confidence last year that we would pick up a 3rd and 1 by ramming the ball, and I think for that reason Danny used some other types of plays particularly when we got in the Red Zone. Hopefully the OL is a little better this year so we can do just that......ram the ball up the gut and pick it up.

If he puts in more passing plays for Quincy this year, he will throw a pick at some point....it's bound to happen.  So go on the record now....saying whether or not you want to see Quincy get a chance to throw the ball more so you can't say wtf when he does throw a pick

Young, green and undersized at center...undersized but not under-skilled.

Belquist sure doesn’t look like the skinny freshman he once was. Looks ripped! Would not be surprised if he is the best WR in the MVFC this year! He can only get batter from the last great couple years.

I can live with poor execution so long as it's not reminiscent of a certain 4th and 1 deep in our own territory vs a school specializing in agricultural trades..

Lets move on to something UND related.

Can UND actually make this 2 QB system work?

Until QV2 moves a pile or proves to be dynamic we have a 1 QB system.  If it's something other than 90/10 for a healthy Tommy Gun I'll be surprised.

Don't get me wrong, I want TOmmy to take the majority of the snaps.  But we play our first 3 games and Quicy only takes 10% of the snaps, we don't have a 2 QB system.  We have a QB that just goes in there to pick up the 3rd and inches.  Which is what we had last year.  I am hoping and thinking Danny is planning on using him a bit more.  I don't want 50/50.  I would be ok with 80/20 or at the most 75/25.  All depends on how effective Quincey is.

[SiouxFan100]

Have we seen Quincey pass yet? He hasn’t had the opportunity much.

whatever minuses q has with his arm i think might be made up with his "willingness" to run unlike tommy who just doesn't seem to want to run for some reason

It’s a major ? (question mark)

The unit lost a player to the NFL, so that certainly doesn’t help.

Quincey is not an every down FCS QB

Can he catch the ball? Two QBs in on a play makes gadget play chaos for the defense.

What do you mean we don't even know what we have with Tommy?  Tommy is an every down FCS QB and has proven it.  Doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement though, running a bit more at opportune times....and some more completions 35+ yards downfield......which is probably what you are eluding too......we may not have seen Tommy's ceiling quite yet.  This is the year for it! 

[gfhockey]

Tommy I feel like is like studsrud 

 

game manager 

 

nit built to come back from being down but once up hard for other team to come back

Are you already calling for the backup to come in?

Probably pretty accurate. I do feel like Studsrud could have had a better career without Rudy but that’s a big what if. 

[shep]

I never liked Studsrud.

I like Tommy. 

I could be wrong, but I think he's quite a bit better.
